Crazy Final Three Laps in Monaco! | 1982 Monaco Grand Prix

I was at this race sitting in the K grandstand at Tabac. It was dry all through the race and it started to drizzle with rain with a couple of laps to go. I had a perfect view of Prost losing it out of the Chicane, I have photos too. Then it all became very confusing in the crowd as there was no information about who was leading. The guy on the tannoy was shouting a lot, mostly in French and the English announcer, when he got his turn, didn't seem to know who had won. We guessed it was Patrese as he was about the only unlapped car that came past on what we thought was the last lap. There were no big screen back then, just a leader board which didn't change until a while after the race ended. We later went to the paddock and saw Patrese's car and the happy Brabham team.

Josh dunn small secret: Didier Pironi did not run out of fuel. It was a battery problem. Didier Pironi had had a battery problem during the warm-up-session. his mechanics exchanged the battery, but the spare battery wasn‘t charged, and in the three hours between warm-up and race start they could not fully charge it. On a normal circuit, this would not have been a problem, but on a slow circuit like Monaco the generator did not produce enough juice to further charge the battery. his car started misfiring towards the last laps and in the end, the battery was empty.

[@AEMoreira81]

Daly ran out of gas too! He ended up with the final points position, 2 laps down (6th as it was then). Had Patrese not gotten restarted, the race would have gone an extra lap as Mansell would have made up his lap. Points paying positions: 1. Patrese (9 points, lead lap - running) 2. Pironi (6 points, 1 lap down - out of fuel) 3. de Cesaris (4 points, 1 lap down - out of fuel) 4. Mansell (3 points, 1 lap down - running) 5. de Angelis (2 points, 1 lap down - running) 6. Daily (1 point, 2 laps down - accident)

[@Alex-gn9px]

In a recent interview Patrese said that he had never been able to understand why his car had skidded even if he had driven it at the right speed. Until Daily, years later, told that he had lost some oil on the track and that this oil, mixed with the rain, made Patrese skid.

[@Alex-gn9px]

Patrese was not well received in F1 and, above all, he was unjustly accused of being responsible for Peterson's death. This led him to close in on himself, not to have an easy character and to make the wrong choices that prejudiced his career. Like rejecting Brabham's offer in 1979. When he went to Brabham in 1982 it was late, Piquet had won a world championship and was number 1 of the team.

[@johnt7630]

@@Alex-gn9px Patrese was a good driver, but nothing special.

[@Alex-gn9px]

@@johnt7630 Nothing special? In 1977 Patrese in F2 took pole position at the Nurburgring ahead of Regazzoni and Jochen Mass. In the same year, when he made his F1 debut in Montecarlo without any experience, he qualified with fifteenth time and finished ninth. In 1978, with an Arrows (not a Ferrari or Lotus) he was winning the South African GP and finished second in Sweden behind Lauda who had an irregular car. When he drove a competitive car he was only second to his teammate (Piquet at Brabham and Mansell at Williams) who was the number 1 chosen by the team. He was vice-world Champion behind Mansell. He has achieved many victories in endurance cars and prototypes becoming vice world champion. He retired when he had a teammate that was always faster than him, a certain Michael Schumacher ... In 1996, 3 years after retiring, without any training, driving a Williams at Silverstone Patrese was so fast that if it had participated to the British Grand Prix in that year, he would have set the fifth time and would have started from the third row .. you're right, nothing special ...

No? If they lose a body part they replace it... but if a part of the floor loses, then yes becasue the cars today are so fast that a minor aerodynamic issue could cause a catastrophic crash. Like Marcus Ericson on Monza of 2018

[@Peterraawwrr]

@@JustusKuroVT Ericsson in Monza? That has nothing to do with the floor/"minor aerodynamics". If I remember correctly, that was caused by his DRS not closing in the braking zone.

[@sakulhd8189]

Never saw a car retire because of that but alright xD modern cars are actually suprinsingly durable compared to older ones.

[@DrSabot-A]

That's literally because aerodynamics were made by the body following the ground effect concept whereas wings and cones were just used to stabilize the car. Incase you didnt know, the chassis and the body would literally warp and crumble on itself as the race went on Compare that to the modern F1 car where a broken floor or a damaged diffuser could alter the car's driving performance, it's quite reasonable

Love the old races. Insane how forward the drivers are in these cars. Their feet are right at the nose of the car.

[@colehartel7206]

It was insane. Drivers had to be extremely lucky not to break their legs in a frontal crash. It was due to a rule change meaning the fuel tank had to be between the driver and engine, rather than on either side of the driver as had previously been common practise, so the designers simply shifted the driver forward to make space. It wasn't until several seasons later they introduced the rule that the driver's feet must fit behind the front axle line.

[@johnandrews3568]

In some years back then, the driver's feet were ahead of the front axle and what ended Jacques Lafite's F1 career, when he stuffed it nose first and broke both feet.

@@colehartel7206 *_"It was due to a rule change meaning the fuel tank had to be between the driver and engine, rather than on either side of the driver as had previously been common practise, so the designers simply shifted the driver forward to make space."_* I'm not sure that's true. When ground effect arrived, the logical place for the fuel cell was between the engine and driver, so F1 kind of stumbled into it. One of the problems with F1 in that era was that safety standards were not nearly as high as they are today (and they still leave something to be desired). Prior to the advent of carbon fibre, chassis were all built out of AlMg alloy and while they were extremely light, they had offered as much crash protection as a blancmange. Once John Watson had proved the strength of carbon, following a huge crash coming out of the second Lesmo at Monza in 1981, other teams began to adopt it and by 1983, I think it was universal.Carbon fibre has probably saved more racing lives than any other factor. The rule about the driver's feet was first promulgated by the GPDA in 1982 (I think, could have been 1981). It wasn't adopted until Jacques Lafitte broke both his legs in a career-ending crash at the 1986 British Grand Prix.

It was as if no one wanted to win. On another note, this Monaco GP would turn out to be the last Monaco GP to be graced by Princess Grace, who would sadly pass away as a result of a terrifying car crash later that year.

[@Flightjunkie4u]

I saw this live. I've seen this video dozens of times. I still chuckle every time

*this is the first race without gilles* 😢

@@WindTunnelRacing more like POS Pironi calling it on himself... Gilles was a gentleman through and through, this is all Pironi's doing, his own karma...by thunder, I hate him so...

[@gillespriod5509]

i was thinking where Gilles was, then i realized, so sad, yes look like Didier run out by kharma that day, Patrese deserved it and it was losing for the emotion, then the destiny give it back is victory

[@theoyareboot1236]

Saw it 38 years ago, couldn't believe it. Just watched it, and couldn't believe it. Backed up and watched it again, and couldn't believe it.

IS THAT PIRONI STATIONARY?! IT IS!

MY GOODNESS!!

[@Andrew81au1]

@Helmholtz Just one of those things. Possibly see that there was an issue but was still moving albeit slowly so in with a chance it would keep going till it did stop.

[@jimmywrangles]

Hunt and Walker, the very best commentary team ever.

[@Adsideo]

I remember watching this on Live TV when it was happening. It was so tense and exciting. What a memory. Nothing as thrilling nowadays, F1 is too predictable.

[@brendanwilliams7291]

What a crazy way to see the race finish. Murray and James must have wondered who would win, but that was a great win by Riccardo Patrese.

[@davidsimons1152]

Commentator is meant to clarify the events unfolding, but this guy! ...."Patrese is out, so here comes Patrese to take the win."

[@michaelhawthorne8696]

[@Brockstar5150]

When F1 was unpredictable, had the best commentary, real engines (with sound), no stupid red tape rules, not all about the money and people actually overtook each other......so glad I grew up in these times and not now.

[@Muesli711]

Murray Walker was a superb commentator because the listener could share his emotion, his passion, for F1. I grew up in grey Ireland but how I loved Sunday afternoons being transported to exotic racetracks around the world watching superb drivers. Thank you Mr. Walker, we miss you.

[@Lowdo1549]

So no ones going to mention that Williams doesn’t have a rear wing but is absolutely bossing it

[@astronomenov99]

I'll mention it. Ground effect.

[@kidpagronprimsank05]

Underside already produced enough downforce, no wings were necessary actually, but only for stability.

[@toxy3580]

Ground effect. The Ferrari didn't even always run a front wing in 1982.

[@javiergarrido6088]

@@toxy3580 Not only Ferrari. In the Ground effect era sometimes the front wing was not necessary. Thanks to the ground effect, making the car less aerodependient on the wings.

2:00 Quite funny and kinda sweet was the reaction of Murray saying “número uno”, considering at that exact moment the leader was a Frenchman, and the race took place at a French speaking country 😂

Sport's commentators never were the most cultured people on Earth, this ones can't even pronounce most of the drivers' names. It adds to the fun, I guess.

[@R4M_Tommy]

And half front wing

[@ranjiamer2219]

im actually about to..

[@maxleitschuh7076]

@Mr. Handsome Daly was actually the instigator of a lot of this. He crashed a couple laps before (hence the missing wings), but kept going. The crash broke an oil tank, so he spewed oil all over the track, making the slippery track even worse. The leak was also why he DNFed - the gearbox ran out of oil and seized up.

[@LuminalSpoon]

Don't talk shit Karl

[@whatsappdripcar3104]

Quite impressive to drive it with very little downforce

[@carltonfaldo2975]

I love how wise he was to get out of the car after he crashed , what kills drivers sometimes is not the crash but the second crash after the original crash

What a crazy final laps on that race

[@sergiodavid5025]

Emocion hasta los ultimos metros,Patresse se entero de que gano cuando bajo del coche. Que epoca mas bonita

[@Djian1970]

Petrese didn't know that he won when the race ended. He thought he'd finished 4th. Imagine the surprise he got when he came into his pitlane.

[@themitsudas]

So true! He seriously didn't know he had won until he pulled in the pits. Reminds me of Fuji 1976 when Hunt didn't realize he had won the WDC until Teddy told him.

[@Alex-gn9px]

In Montecarlo only the winner is awarded. When they told Patrese to go to the podium, he was so sure he hadn't won, that he thought he came second or third and that they had changed the rules by rewarding the top three.

[@gmantov]

Just saw an interview from Patrese. He had no clue he won the race until the marshalls told him.

[@martinvannostrand1]

As much as I enjoy the present era of F1, watching stuff like this really highlights the edginess 80s F1 had. Yeah it was crazy and much more dangerous but also unpredictable and spontaneous. I cut my racing teeth on Formula one in the 1980s and it still remains my favorite era.

[@exodus1960]

Murray and Hunt Like none before or after with the exception of Brundle, I was at the 1983 Monaco GP, with 10 franks in my pocket I snuck past the boyz in blue patrolling the upper road above the track before the pit lane turn off and scampered down the hillside and found a great vantage point hidden by a bush. I was young life was fun.
